So much for an active blogger!
LOL! I'm deeply sorry for being such a whimp and not posting new stuff here. I just got too hooked up at work. I need to prioritize work for my basic necessities.
Hihihi!
Anyways, this is a post of my first time encounter with the whale sharks (a.k.a. Butanding) and it was a day spent well. This trip was like months ago when a friend from Melbourne came to visit the Queen City of the South.
We decided to go to 3 lovely spots in one day. We first went to Oslob since it was advised that we need to be there early in the morning. I was able to get a contact and had ourselves reserved for the whale shark experience.
You may contact Alice at 09228412633 for reservation and inquiry.

I couldn't stop myself from jumping in the sea.

This was when we lost track of the whale shark the boatmen were shouting it's underneath us!!! LOL! |
We started our trip with too much adrenaline rush so we ended up relaxing on our next stop: The Kawasan Falls at Badian

Group photo! :D (I, Eden and Jason) |
Listening to the sound of the falls just makes my body float...such a relaxing place indeed.
Lastly, we went to Moalboal for a quick deep and to watch the beautiful sunset.

Basdaku, Moalboal -- the white sand here is like Boracay's sand. |
